Employee Benefit and Caregiver Solutions

Millions of Americans care for elderly or sick family members. When the caregivers are employees, it costs the employer over $2,400 per employee per year in lost productivity according to a recent study, and also negatively impacts the caregiver’s own wellness. Confidant makes caregiving easier by organizing important caregiving information and keeping it readily accessible. Multiple people providing care can be designated as “confidants” and each can access the information they need, and items can be titled to provide clear identification, such as “Dad’s Long Term Care Insurance” and “Mom’s Long Term Care Insurance”.

Corporations that offer Confidant as part of their employee benefits package get payback by preventing lost productivity as well as improved employee morale. Caregivers using Confidant find their tasks easier, can share information more readily with other caregivers, and have a tool that enables easier entry into potentially difficult conversations about care.

Scenarios

Employee Benefit increases Productivity
A leading corporation desires to aid employees who are caregivers and their families in communicating about critical caregiving information. By offering Confidant to all employees, the corporation realizes a drop in lost productivity from caregivers (workplace interruptions, absenteeism, distraction, etc), the employees become more efficient with caregiving duties, and all employees are offered the protection that in an emergency their families could access critical information within Confidant.

Professional Caregiving Aides
A leading provider of in-home nursing assistance provides Confidant to the families of its patients, and in so doing increases the accuracy of information that is shared among family members and nursing aides about the patient, finds better communication when questions or emergencies arise, and spreads the awareness of its brand because of the viral nature of Confidant connections.

Assisted Living Facility
An assisted living center faces an emergency situation with one of the residents and needs to locate critical health insurance information and the resident’s health care directive. By simply logging into the resident’s Confidant file, the facility can deliver optimal crisis management performance and save valuable time and effort.
